Catherine Lombardozzi, Ed.D.

Greetings

Short take on my background

If we’re going to work together, you may want to know a little bit about me. I’ve compiled both official and quirky details below.

TL;DR version is that my mission in life is to help learning and development professionals be the best they can be so they can have impact through the work they do.

My background includes:

35 years (!) in learning and development roles, primarily in consulting, design, and corporate L&D leadership, with short tours in faculty development, career consulting, and higher ed student services.

Deep skills in synthesizing research to inform L&D practices, envisioning modern talent development strategies, upskilling professionals for emerging tools and techniques, and developing core design, facilitation, and consulting skills.
